Clay gets asked this question often. Why? Because after working at one organization for almost twenty years, he decided to leave and start a new professional adventure.

This question, however, is more relevant than ever. The past two years' events have all of us asking existential questions, like this one.

So, if you are contemplating a career change or know someone considering a career change, this episode is just for you!

Guess who's back? 

Back again. 

Casey's back...tell a -- {record scratch} 

Sorry, sorry, sorry. That was uncalled for. We're better than that. We'll leave 2002 alone.

But, Casey Graham is back and he's got a lot to say about LinkedIn and why he asks everyone at Gravy Solutions to share their "aspirational intent." 

Get your pencil and paper ready. You're gonna want to write down the wisdom he's about to drop.

Enjoy!

Buckle up! This is the first of two episodes with the one and only Casey Graham. 

Casey loves to ask leaders, "Do the people on your team know what you really want?"

Can you answer that question without spouting out some corporate mumbo-jumbo? 

Unfortunately, for far too many leaders, the answer is "no," and Casey believes that needs to change. 

How can you start to get your answer to that question? It begins by checking out this episode of How to Lead.

Back in the day, "public speaking" was a skill almost every leader was looking to add to their toolbox. 

Have the events of the last two years changed that? 

Is public speaking still a thing? 

Is it still a way for a leader to differentiate themselves from the crowd? 

Clay & Adam may not have the answer, but they sure do have some thoughts. Enjoy!

Adam basically uses this entire episode to get some professional coaching from Clay. 

So selfish, right?

As Adam wrapped up Clay's new book there was one section that really challenged him. Fortunately, the topic is something all leaders face: solving problems.

Enjoy eavesdropping in as Clay coaches up Adam.
